Unfortunately my old PC is crap, so I doubt I'd have a nice experience on the new rendition of the game, and my new computer is a Mac ...which to my big disappointment isn't supported by Cyanide as of yet at least. (If anyone has got a solution for this without installing Windows or running a virtual Windows on my Mac, that would be great). Anyway, back to the real problem. Can anyone sort me out with a key for PCM 2007, PCM 2008, PCM 2010 or PCM 2011. I can't seem to find any of them, even though I still have all of the discs.. Help a brother out! Yours truly, El SaL PS: I have checked the internet for all the illegal methods, but my games seem too old for that to work...
